Audio Systems & Rental - Live Sound - Recording

Audio for Live Sound Mixing, Recording, and Broadcast

Tools to improve and perfect our work

Professional live audio mixing systems from leading manufacturers, complete with recording and peripherals, are the tool packages of our choice. We also provide them to other sound engineers and production companies to help perfect their work.

Furthermore, we have evolved into a hybrid workflow, combining the best of both worlds: digital and analog. The matchless precision of digital software meets the unique character of analog hardware. There is something truly special about summing real electrical voltages, saturating physical transformers, and letting the distinct coloration of genuine electronic components shape the sound.

Supported and personal audio rental

We don’t do dry hire, but we are of course happy to provide personal support. We can bring a system to you, set it up, and hand it over to your team with ease.
We would love to guide the entire production process and will, of course, bring all the right gear to the project.
